As most of my regular readers know, I do not like the Farmers Convenience Store, located in Thunderbird Farms, along Papago Road. I've posted stories about this disgusting place on multiple occasions. This store represents all that is wrong with my neighborhood and my nation. A magnet for filth, drugs, drunken Mexicans and prostitutes (who attach signs to their bodies advertising different prices for "front" and "rear" services), the Farmers Convenience Store is the festering puss hole, flesh eating virus or boil that needs to be lanced or eradicated. A little girl nearly drowned, after falling into a septic tank behind the store. I always knew something bad would happen there. I never figured a drowning, though. I expecting a spree shooting or a fire to be the incident to put them on the map. Fortunately, there was a happy ending for this little girl.

I frequently describe the Farmers Convenience Store using the famous quote from Star Wars, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious" Video The girl's mother, Emily Howard, is looking for "answers" and inquiries have been launched. I've been rather disappointed that the owners of the Farmers Convenience Store have little or no regard for code compliance. I've been photographing things that are most disgusting and unlawful at this site for more than three years.

Good Samaritans come to aid of young girl after fall into septic tank

The incident happened at the Farmer's Market on Papago Road. The girl was walking with her mother when she stepped on a round plastic lid that was covering the tank's opening. Apparently the lid was not seated right and flipped over, allowing the girl to fall into the raw sewage. Full Article

Simply do a Google image search for... Farmers Convenience Store Maricopa AZ, most of the photographs are the ones I took and posted on this very blog. Apparently, the girl's mother has sought legal representation. Hopefully, the various complaints I filed, along with police reports will cast the proper light on the owners of this establishment, who are conveniently "unavailable" for comment, at this time.Awards to be presented to those who helped rescue girl from septic tankThe young girl had been chasing her dog in a nearby dirt area and stepped on top of a 21-inch plastic cover which covered the opening of the tank. The cover had three cracks ranging in size from 4 to 10 inches. When the girl stepped on the cover, it flipped open and she fell into the tank and went completely under the sewage inside.

This court (Corporate/municipal revenue generator) doesn't give two shits about the Constitutional Rights of citizens. Those were my rights, violated by this corrupt court. The above court deliberately and willfully violated my Constitutional rights. The judge knew he was and still did it. It's time for a new broom to sweep clean, this cesspool of corruption.

On Saturday, January 11, 2014, I woke up and went to the new police administration building at 39675 W. Civic Center Plaza to have "Coffee With the Chief". I really wasn't hanging out with the chief, having coffee. It was a public meeting. Maricopa's city hall and police station aren't typical. They are located some distance from "downtown", requiring one to drive some ways to get there. They don't have to worry about getting too many "walk ups". The downtrodden and poor just have to walk the extra miles. Shortly after 8:00 am, there was a standing room only crowd. A topic that quickly came up, was what was called a "spike in incidents". Apparently, two residential burglaries was a crime wave to the residents of the Tortosa subdivision. Chief Stahl suggested, "Maybe, we need a little extra patrol."In my neck of the woods, we had seven property crimes, until the culprit got himself shot and held on an immigration hold. I wonder if they would like to make a trade? Suburbia and the "Contested Zone" have little in common. More

MPD Detective Michael burns provided a demonstration on how to use the https://www.crimereports.com/ website. The City of Maricopa uses this resource, while the Pinal County Sheriff's Office does not. That means they can still pick, chose and edit what crimes to release or not release to the public.I was also a little surprised to learn that Maricopa had just 63 sworn officers. I don't go to town that often, but notice it seems like they have more. The Maricopa Police Department also enjoys the service of 124 volunteers. They serve as additional "eyes and ears" for the patrol officers.MPD to combat misinformation on social mediaThis month’s Coffee with the Chief will focus on using the department’s crime-data system to address concern over the amount of misinformation circulating in social media networks throughout the city, said Maricopa Police Department spokesman Ricky Alvarado.

It goes without saying that the chief told us a few things we already knew. For example, Chief Stahl said, "There's a lot of strange people in your neighborhood." Well, there certainly are. Sgt. Perez said, "Facebook has become a very dangerous thing, as well." All too often, people are very loose with their personal information, including their travel plans. They may as well put up a flashing sign that says, "Rob us!"On Sunday, we made another trip to the smuggling trails, inside the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range. Before daybreak, we managed to bypass the US Border Patrol checkpoint, south of Gila Bend on SR 85. We drove through the desert, in plain view of the agents and did not manage to attract any attention. Stevie Wonder could have spotted us. So much for being awake. So much for border security.We made our way to the Sauceda Mountains, inside the "hazard area", east of gate #9. This part of the range is only open to the public, when there is no training on the live range. A Border Patrol agent made contact with us some five hours after bypassing their checkpoint.

According to the agent, we were spotted by military aircraft. If we were engage in smuggling, rather than parked in plain view (for more than an hour), we would have surely been able to avoid law enforcement contact. An investigation by Mexican newspaper El Universal, concluded that the United States government actively worked with the Sinaloa drug cartel from 2000 to 2012, as part of a "divide and conquer" strategy. El Universal has published official court documents that include corroborating testimony from a DEA agent and a Justice Department official.DEA working with drug cartel for more than a decade[T]he United States government at its highest levels entered into agreements with cartel leaders to act as informants against rival cartels and received benefits in return, including, but not limited to, access to thousands of weapons which helped them continue their business of smuggling drugs into Chicago and throughout the United States, and to continue wreaking havoc on the citizens and law enforcement in Mexico.

On Monday, I decided to make a short trip and investigate a well known drug smuggler's pick up point, near Century and Hidden Valley Rd. Dope loads are coming directly into my neighborhood, with little or no worries of getting caught. This site has been popular for a few years and is less than 10 minutes from my home.There were plenty of fresh foot prints and dozens of the “cartel sewing circle's” custom made dope bale covers, done in woodland digital camouflage, with elastic. The drug smugglers are currently utilizing ATV's. They cut fences and make their own roads on public lands.Colonel Paul Hellwell of the OSS began to smuggle heroin from Burma and sold it in ghettos in the United States. Grown in Burma and processed in Shanghai, OSS agents ran across this bonanza while attempting to bolster the right wing regime of Chiang Kai-shek and to prevent Mao Tse Tung from ascending to power. Flying Tigers were OSS mercenaries who were financed with secret funds.

These are the people who decide who comes and goes. Unless of course ''we'' decide to intervene en-mass.Cogito ergo sum

Quotations

We can have peace and security only as long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against dilution by foreign races. It is time to turn from our quarrels and to build our White ramparts again. This alliance with foreign races means nothing but death to us. It is our turn to guard our heritage..before we become engulfed in a limitless foreign sea.

--Charles A. Lindbergh Readers Digest, Nov. 1939

Rudyard Kipling's Insight

The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon

It was not part of their blood It came to them very lateWith long arrears to make good,When the SAXONS began to hate,

They were not easily moved,They were icy-willing to waitTill every count should be proved

Ere the SAXONS began to hate.Their voices were even and low,Their eyes were level and straight,There was neither sign nor show,

When the SAXONS began to hate.It was not preached to the crowdIt was not taught by the State,No man spoke it aloud,When the SAXONS began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,It will not swiftly abateThrough the chilled years aheadWhen Time shall count from the dateThat the SAXONS began to hate."

The Strangerby Rudyard Kipling (1908.. but timeless perspective on immigration.)

The Stranger within my gate,He may be true or kind,But he does not talk my talk—I cannot feel his mind.I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock,They may do ill or well,But they tell the lies I am wonted to,They are used to the lies I tell;And we do not need interpretersWhen we go to buy or sell.

The Stranger within my gates,He may be evil or good,But I cannot tell what powers control—What reasons sway his mood;Nor when the Gods of his far-off landShall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,Bitter bad they may be,But, at least, they hear the things I hear,And see the things I see;And whatever I think of them and their likes

They think of the likes of me.This was my father's beliefAnd this is also mine:Let the corn be all one sheaf—

And the grapes be all one vine,Ere our children's teeth are set on edgeBy bitter bread and wine.
